Abstract
Functional Fitness is designed to teach sustainable fitness through core strength and conditioning, regardless of fitness level, body composition, or athletic ability. Using basic body-weight movements, the fun of sport and game, and accountability through journaling, students advance through levels that increase in intensity and encourage camaraderie and competition amongst peers to motivate students to unparalleled fitness. Journals help students to track their performance during the workouts, set goals, and complete written assignments, which shall include student’s observations on nutrition, sleep, recovery, and values related to sports.
